Johnny T Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Hi all, I've been trying to come up with ways to easily curate my images so that I have one good image per rom in each of the pertinent folders. i.e. one Box - 3D image per rom and one Arcade - Marquee per rom. This started out quite well as I used xampp to allow me to run PHP script from my home PC and then wrote some code to try and remove files with the same name but with .jpg / .png extensions and also to rename files and highlight roms that didn't have images associated with them. Also the excellent plugin Ao.Bigbox (by @eatkinola) Is an absolute god-send for helping identify improvements that can be made to your image collection. However, I fell down a bit when trying to identify files that were duplicate but had different filenames - for instance - air-sea-battle.png is the same as... air-sea-battle (USA) (Proto).png So I did a search and found "AllDup" by MTSD (Not sure if I'm allowed to post a link so I'll refrain for now - Google is your friend however). It's 'freeware' and seems brilliant for these kind of searches. It allows a myriad of granular options when searching so I've got mine set up with this condition... I'm comparing filenames *AFTER* removing (USA) (Proto) etc... (obviously I'll add Europe / Japan et al in there too when I use it next time). This program works an absolute treat so thought I'd share it in case others would find it useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
